 The Brompton Hospital for Consumptives, in London, reports that over fifty people out every hundred consumptives, are victims of constipated or inactive kidneys.
 Consumption IS one ot our national dis eases, and the above report goes to prove what has often been said in our columns dur ing the last eight years, that kidney troubles are not only the cause of more than half the cases of consumption, but of ninety out of every hundred other common diseases They who have taken this position, made ther claims after nn elaborate investigation, and cidc for the terrible and stealthy kidney dis eases, which have become SO prevalent among us. is wise and convincing
 We have recently received from them They have challenged the medical profession and science to investigate. They have in- vestigated, aud those who are frank have admitted the truth of their statements. They claim that ninety per cent. of diseases come originally from inactive kidneys; that these inactive kidneys allow the bl1ol to be- come filled with uric acid poison: that this uric acid poison in the blood carries disease through every organ.
 There is enough uric acid developed in the system within twenty four hours to kill half a dozen men.
 This being scientific fact, it requires only ordinary wisdom to see the effect inactive kidneys must have upon the system.
 If this poison is not removed, it ruins every organ. If the bowels, stomach or liver be- come inactive, we know it at once, but other organs help them out. If the kidneys become constipated and dormant, the warning comes later on, and often when it is too late, be- cause the effects are remote from the kidneys and those organs are not.suspected to be out of order.
 Organs that gre weak and diseased are un- able to resist the attacks of this poison, and the disease often takes the form of and is treated as a lo>al affiiction, when in reality the real cause of the trouble was inactive kidneys
 Too many medical men of the present day hold what was ia It twenty years ago, that kidney disease is incurable, a ,cording to the medicines authorized by their code Hence, they ignore the original cause of disea @ it. self, and give their attention to useless treat ing of local effects.
 They dose the patient with quinine, mor- phine, or with salts and other physics, hop ing that thus nature may cure the disease, while the kidneys continue to waste away with inflammation, alteration and decay, and the victim eventually perishes.
 The same quantity of blood that passes through the heart, passes through the kidneys. If the kidneys are diseased, the blood soaks up this disease and takes it all through the sys- tenn. Hence it is, that ths claim is made that Warmers safe cure, the only known spe- cific for kidney diseases, cures 90 per cent of human ailments, because it, and it alone, is able to maintain the natural activity of the kidneys, and to neuts alize and remove the uric acid, or kidney poison, as fast as it is formed.
 If this acid Is not removed, there is inactiv- ity of the kidneys, aud there will be produced in the system paralysis, apoplexy, dyspep- sia, consumption, heart disease, headaches, rheumatism, pneumonia, impotency and all the nameless diseases of delicate women. If the poisonous matter is separated from the blood as fast as it is formed, these diseases, in majority of cases, would not exist.
 It only requires a particle of small pox virus to produce that vile disease and the poisonous matter from the kidneys, passing all through the system and becoming lodged at different weak points, is equally destruc- tive, although more disguised.
 If it were possible for us to see into the kidneys, and how quickly the blood passing through them goes to the heart and lungs and other parts of the system, carrying this deadly virus with it. all would believe with. out hesitation what has so often been stated m advertisements in these columns, that the kidneys are the most important organs in the body.
 They may regard this article as an adver. tisement and refuse to believe it, but that is a matter over which we have no control. Careful investigation and science itself are proving beyond doubt that this organ is, in fact, more important than any othcr il the system as health regulator, and as SUI h should be closely wat he'd for the least sign of disordered action.
